The Himalayan Hazel, vernacular " bhotia badam " 

 is a rare tree up here. I have met with two only on 

 the north slope of the hill in dense forest, the wood 

 is pink and is moderately hard. The nuts ripen in 

 August when they are collected and brought for sale. 



Is the only oak found here, it flowers in April, fruit 

 ripens in October but remains long on the tree, the 

 wood is excessively hard and difficult to work, it 

 makes good fuel and charcoal. 



Is fairly common in streams. Vernacular •' Kadwi ;" 

 branches are lopped for fodder, flowers March, fruit 

 in June, 



Vernacular " Bhains " or "Gad Bhains," common 

 in streams in the Dun and ascending to Mussoorie, the 

 pliant twigs are made into baskets. Flowers in April. 



The Weeping Willow is cultivated. Flowers during 

 the hot season.

Not common, seen a few trees which seem to be 

 cultivated. Flowers March- April. Fruits in June. 



Is a common pine up here and ranges from 

 2,000 feet to 7,000 feet. Vernacular " Chir," wood 

 used extensively for beams and planks, Crude tur- 

 pentine, vernacular " ganda-bi-roza," the gum obtained 

 from this tree from which is distilled turpentine ; 

 flowers about March, the cones remain long on the tree. 

 The needles are used as bedding for horses and cattle 

 and afterwards furnish a good stimulant manure. 



Very little deodar is to be met with at Mussoorie 

 now. The only trees to be seen are those preserved 

 on private estates. The cones form in April and seed 

 is shed in October.
